Like the immensely popular battle royale game it’s based on, a Fortnite-themed festival outside of Norwich, England only had enough room for one person out of a hundred to leave happy. Sued by the game’s creator—which, it should be noted, is eager to point out it “was not in any way associated with the event”—and…

Would you like them in a house? Would you like them with a mouse? How about with Tracy Morgan, Michael Douglas, and Diane Keaton?

Jeff Daniels might be clearing mantel space for the Tony he’s going to win for playing Atticus Finch in pal Aaron Sorkin’s Broadway production of To Kill A Mockingbird, but life for the 64-year-old actor isn’t all crackling bread and Lane cakes. Telling Jimmy Fallon on Monday’s Tonight Show that Atticus’ crisp court…

Last week, The New York Times published a report on the abuse allegations of seven women against singer-songwriter Ryan Adams, with the accusers saying he had a history of being obsessive and controlling, as well as verbally abusive and vindictive against women who refused his advances—in addition to an allegation…

The original Avatar was built on the fantastical sights and sounds of a lush forest planet full of colorful cat-people who rode on dragons, but other than the familiar story of mean military people trying to destroy wildlife, it was all a little hard to follow. Why are we supposed to care about these people and these…

Veep is coming back to HBO for one more season in March, and this new trailer makes it clear that being a politician in the Veep universe is as miserable as it as always been—not that it’s any less miserable in our universe, of course. This time around, Selina Meyer is facing off in a presidential campaign against…

[The following contains spoilers for Alita: Battle Angel, so don’t read this if you don’t want to know about sequel plans.]

If you’ve ever wondered whether or not you’re one of the last remaining individuals who hasn’t checked out Ariana Grande’s latest album, a gang of shattered streaming records are here to assure you that yes, you likely are.

Alt-country artist Lydia Loveless has detailed allegations of pervasive sexual harassment by Chicago musician Mark Panick, the domestic partner of Bloodshot Records co-founder Nan Warshaw. The singer, it appears, was emboldened to come forward after last week’s revelations regarding the alleged emotional abuse and…

Aaron Sorkin’s HBO drama The Newsroom was sort of a revisionist history-style take on current events, with Atlantis Cable News’ team of smart, ethical journalists consistently working to find the most accurate and even-handed way to report on events from the recent past like the killing of Osama Bin Laden. In an era…

While the Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody’s presence throughout this year’s awards season continues to ring problematic, fans might be pleased to hear that the legendary band is set to play the Academy Awards this Sunday.

Last week, the world shed a collective tear over the demise of the 15-year-old Opportunity rover. Now, with Mars fever sweeping the web, there’s no better time to dive into CuriosityStream, a new streaming service jam-packed with scientific documentaries, many of which focus on our exploration of the Red Planet.

Compared to the Emmys, Golden Globes and, presumably, next week’s Oscars, last night’s WGA Awards were a wildly—and satisfyingly—unpredictable affair. So much so, in fact, that several of the nominees, including Best Original Screenplay winner Bo Burnham and Best Comedy/Variety Sketch Series winner Nathan Fielder,…

As the sidewinder sleeps, the president tweets, and though Trump’s inane barks routinely enrage no shortage of reply guys, the leader of the free world probably didn’t expect to make an enemy out of the shiny, happy people in R.E.M. That’s exactly what happened this weekend, though, when Trump retweeted a video that…

This year’s Academy Awards news cycle has been a merry-go-round of some of the most insufferable “will they or won’t they” tension that nobody asked for, from whether or not they’ll honor certain creators behind the camera (they will) to whether or not they’ll even have a host (they won’t). With just six days until…

This weekend, the Academy Awards will, for the first time in three decades, air without a host. As such, there’s a palpable anxiety radiating off the whole thing, and not just because of the scandal that necessitated the choice. Lest we forget, the last time the Oscars decided to go host-less resulted in an…

French cinema icon Isabelle Huppert gave us the creeps in Paul Verhoeven’s challenging, corrosive Elle, and she’s back in psycho mode in Greta, the latest film from The Crying Game director Neil Jordan. Chloe Grace Moretz co-stars as a naive young NYC transplant who becomes the object of Huppert’s sinister obsession…

It is finished. Jessica Jones and The Punisher have officially been canceled, reports TheWrap, thus ending the Marvel era of Netflix. Their cancellations follow the individual axes buried into the skulls of Luke Cage, Daredevil, and Iron Fist, not to mention The Defenders.

All That is returning to Nickelodeon in all its absurd, wholesome glory and with Kenan Thompson executive producing, you can count on one alum to stop by for an appearance: Kel Mitchell.

John Oliver returned on Sunday with Last Week Tonight, the answer to the question, “What does it feel like when a cheeky British man makes you laugh while imparting truly horrifying world news analysis?” (It apparently makes Emmy voters feel pretty good, actually.) Perhaps feeling a bit homesick for the land of his…
